Chip and Joanna Gaines to Headline Retail Conference
The “Fixer Upper” stars are the keynote speakers at the National Retail Federation’s upcoming convention.
Washington—The National Retail Federation’s upcoming convention, called Retail’s Big Show, will feature some familiar faces.
On Jan. 15, Chip and Joanna Gaines, entrepreneurs and stars of HGTV’s “Fixer Upper” series, will deliver the closing keynote address at the 108th edition of the annual conference.
The couple are owners of design and remodeling business Magnolia, which they founded in 2003. The company has since expanded into a veritable lifestyle brand encompassing not only a design and construction company, but also an online retail store, real estate business and magazine.
They rose to fame in 2013 when “Fixer Upper” began airing; the series shows the couple remodel and flip properties.
In the closing keynote at Retail’s Big Show, the Gaineses will speak about how they’ve created and grown their company in a session titled “Brand Builders: Balancing Business and Creativity to Make a Cultural Connection.”
Also scheduled to speak on brand building on the last day of the convention is entertainment mogul Scooter Braun.
